switch.
●
You should deactivate the front passenger front airbag only if you
have to use a rear-facing child seat in exceptional cases.

Child safety.
●
Never install a child seat facing backwards on the front passenger
seat unless the front passenger front airbag has been disabled. Other-
wise, there is a risk of death. If under exceptional circumstances it is nec-
essary to transport a child in a rear-facing child seat on the front passen-
ger seat, you must always disable the front passenger front airbag.
●
As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger
seat, enable the front passenger front airbag again.
●
Only deactivate the front passenger front airbag when the ignition is
off, otherwise a fault may occur in the airbag system, which could cause
the airbag to not deploy properly or not deploy at all.
WARNING (Continued)
●
When the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, if the control
lamp AIRBAG OFF is not continuously lit up, there may be a fault in the
airbag system:
–
Have the airbag system inspected immediately by a specialised
workshop.
–
Do not use a child seat on the front passenger seat! The front pas-
senger front airbag could be triggered despite the fact that there is a
fault in the system and, as a result, a child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries.
–
It is unpredictable whether the front passenger airbag will deploy
in the event of an accident. Warn all your passengers of this.
●
When using the ignition key to activate/deactivate the front passen-
ger front airbag, only the front passenger airbag will be activated/deacti-
vated. The side airbag and head airbag on the passenger side will remain
active.
